read a bit about our man vinci, his preferences were skewed , would have liked vineet more than mallika or bipasha i wonder what kinda video he would have made

i have a keen interest in machines , electronics , etc when i saw the title of that video i thought yeah finally some body has come up with actually working human power heli, as i havebeen watching people attempting this thing from when i was in 9th standard ,but at the end of video all the interest went down as i saw same thing (still attempting). thats why i said " time waste video". i would have said " plz come up with a video when u r done.",  and i deeply respect mr vinci.

Very good luck to them. Please, it's not time wasting, if it wasn't for people such as these we would still be hunter gatherers. People with the drive, belief and spirit have made much of what we enjoy today a possibility. When somebody says "it can't be done" there's always someone who'll say "Oh yes it can"
